Are there color bars in ML and if not is it possible to add my own pngs/jpegs to ML?

I own some non canon zoom lenses, like the Tamron 24-70mm, and would like to use Peripheral Illumination Correction during video.

This cant be replicated in post production, because during video the aperture and focal distance is lost.

But we have the information available in programs like photoshop and lightroom. So is it possible to hack one of the Canon lens Peripheral Illumination Correction profiles I wont ever use, replace its contents with the details for the Tamron 24-70mm, and load that into the camera?

I bought a Sandisk 8Mb Extreme Pro 90Mbs to replace my  Sandisk 8Mb Extreme 30Mbs. I wasn´t getting noticable differences in being able to record higher bitrates so I did some bench marks.

Here are the results
EXTREME 30Mbs


EXTREME PRO 90Mbs


and ML benchmark tests

EXTREME PRO 90MB/s card


EXTREME 30MB/s card


I would love to see other people´s benchamrks for these 90Mbs cards as this one was definately not worth the money!

Would be helpful to get a quick idea of where to start dialing in WB.

I have a question for everyone who is shooting to achieve a cine camera look, I appologise if it has been asked before.

If shooting 24p to acheive a filmic look, I would choose all-I instead of IPB, to emulate the way how film grain randomly changes per frame and also to copy the way how movement is captured by cine cameras.

I have read alot of people prefer shooting with IPB over all-I. I have not much experience with IP and I would love to clear up possible misconceptions in my mind.

If you prefer IPB, are you using it to achieve a ´filmic´ look and in your experience how do you best achieve that look?

For example, do you shoot to get the cleanest image out of camera and then add grain in post, for example, or does IPB not need this and look like cine footage grain straight out of camera?
